Hi everyone, I've done lot of research on the potential variator issues, phoned several specialists and am constantly back and forth between proceeding to buy this car and not depending on various advice I have received. Currently have a deposit down and was due to collect this Monday but that won't happen now.
I've heard everything from walk away immediately, to the rattle on start up is normal on these cars and doesn't cause a big issue if it only lasts for 1 second or so on cold start, more an irritation. Also heard changing to 10w60 oil and driving the car more frequently may be a fix!
This is part of the cold start video the dealer finally sent me, could someone let me know if this might be a variator, or even something else entirely? I know it can't be diagnosed online but a hint in the right direction would be great!
Thank you all in advance,
Jason
